WEA Sydney

WEA offers a wide selection of courses for Adult Education covering most of the humanities (Literature, Art, Music, Philosophy, Politics and History) as well as more practical courses relating to a broad range of Languages, Drawing, Painting and Music. It has become the best provider of Adult Education in Sydney with many talented tutors.

In an age where life-long learning is becoming essential to keep up with technical change, WEA is one of the few places in Sydney, outside formal university courses, where adults can enrol in a wide spectrum of work related or recreational courses. Class numbers are modest, as are fees. It gives me so much to look forward to each week!

I have been studying Spanish language at WEA with the dynamic Silvia Martinez Jimeno for just over two years. The classes are interesting and amusing, great for improving brain performance and of great benefit for travel in Spanish speaking countries. The atmosphere in the class is supportive and co-operative. I feel confident in my ability to deal with basic day-to-day situations while travelling, and look forward to improving my ability to the point of enjoying the best of Spanish literature. I hope to continue studying at WEA in the future. I should also like to emphasize that the fees at WEA are very reasonable in comparison with other institutions. The Spanish class is a highlight in my week.

Very good. A lot of courses to suit everyone : languages History, philosophy, sport, psychology, humanities,etc...face to face & online. I went to enrol. Friendly atmosphere. Cheaper than any teaching & learning institution. Please ring to inquire. They have all the facility required & 1 min walk to the train. Good luck to whom is keen to become eduducated in different field

I attend WEA courses with my guide dog, D'artagnan. The staff and the tutors are always welcoming and make every effort to provide an inclusive experience. My main interest is in literature, history and philosophy, and I have done some amazing courses. the The tutors are engaged with their subjects, very knowledgeable, and generally encourage discussion. I did a poetry class,although I had never had any interest in poetry. But the tutor was so passionate about the subject, I developed a love for it too. The other students are friendly and I have made some lasting friendships with people I have met there. My guide dog D'artagnan loves going to WEA too and he was especially attentive when we took a class on Alexander Dumas. The The Politics at Lunchtime courses are a good way to spend an hour doing something different and interesting. There is something for everyone at WEA, so check it out.

I have been dipping into many courses over the past few years. The history classes especially are always brilliant, given by friendly and highly knowledgeable tutors. Their arts courses are equally as good, as indeed are the language sessions I have attended. The list of courses available is amazing, and there is quite literally something for everyone. Keep up the great work

I have been attending WEA classes in Sydney for about 70 years in all kinds of subjects of interest like English, History, Science, Philosophy, Politics and Culture. They have been to me the best Adult Education Provider I have ever known for the working classes and anyone interested in learning without any special requirements to be met. It is a wonderful and idealistic organisation which I hope will be around forever for those interested in learning whatever interests them and it is an ideal learning environment.

I have been attending WEA for many years and it always offers couses to enrich my life. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the courses I have chosen about religion, philosophy, ancient and modern history and literature. It always inspires me to research more on each subject and I look forward to each meeting. I also meet so many clever and erudite people in the audience to enhance the whole experience.

WEA is a marvellous educational institution - I know this after attending a wide variety of courses over many years (history, language, practical arts, music, travel, etc, etc). The tutors are well equipped to offer stimulating and informative courses, and the infrastructure of WEA works very well. WEA is also exceptionally easy to access by public transport. I hope that I'll be participating for many many more years to come.

WEA courses are always interesting and the topics to choose from varied and wide. Over the years that I have participated in WEA courses I have found them to be relevant and up to my expectation.. I consider them value for my money and my time especially the courses for seniors trying to update their IT skills. The instructor/tutor is patient and giving of their time and energy. I also recommend WEA courses as a means of becoming acquainted with like minded students for your particular interests and skills.Now in retirement I look forward to my next round of courses and lectures.
